Energy Rebates for Home Improvement - Do you need your attic insulation upgraded? Save up to $500 on your project
Home remodeling rebates can help keep cash in your pocket. Edina, MN has a few energy rebate programs available to save you money.
The 2016 winter is quickly approaching us and if you're a homeowner in the Edina area there are a few things you can do to get ready for it. The first and foremost option is to unpack all your winter jackets and gear, and make sure to stock up on ice scrapers.
The next best thing to look into before the winter is upgrading your property's attic insulation system with the help from your local energy provider, CenterPoint Energy! So what does that entail?
1. Energy Audit - Stinson Services, a local insulation company, recommends on having CenterPoint complete a full standard energy audit ($100) on your home. This way you'll receive an unbiased audit with a full multiple page report breaking down the weak areas of your home.

3. Complete Project - Once you find the right insulation contractor, set up the project. Each project will have a different timeline but most take 1-2 days to complete. The project will include a before and after air leakage test. This is completed so that CenterPoint Energy can receive data showing that the insulation project was done correctly and allow less air to leak out of your home.
4. Rebate Form - A qualified contractor will fill out the form for you and have you sign it upon completion. The Energy Rebate form is mailed or faxed into CenterPoint Energy after the project is completed. A 30-60 day period will pass before the rebate check is sent in the mail to your property.
